I received an IRS notice – what do I do?

If you are not current on your tax filings, you will need to get your tax returns up to date. We understand the importance of having these filings completed timely and will be sensitive to your timeline. Please call the office for an appointment with one of our tax experts.

Filing bankruptcy and need returns completed for back years

I sold my main home recently what do I report

If you can exclude the gain on the sale you don’t have to report the sale on the return. That is the simple, short version. Unfortunately, not everyone can exclude the gain as there are parameters related to the exclusion and if you receive a 1099 related to the sale you probably have to report the transaction on your return whether you owe taxes on the sale or not. Larry L Bertsch CPA & Associates can assist you with the proper reporting of the sale of your primary residence. Please call the office for an appointment.

I just bought a rental home and needed help with my taxes.

When you have a rental property, you essentially have a business. You can write off those expenses associated with operating the business i.e. mortgage interest, insurance, homeowners association fees etc. If you do have a loss on the rental, there are limitations, so it is important to consult with us to discuss those limitations on how it will affect your taxable income.

Frustrated with my current tax preparer

If you feel the relationship with your current tax accountant is not meeting your needs, it may be time to change. Communication between the tax preparer and client is necessary for the accurate completion of a client’s returns. We pride ourselves on the relationships we have with our customers and encourage our prospective clients to interview with several firms to ensure the right fit. Call the office if you feel we can be of assistance with your tax preparation.

What can I deduct on my individual return?

Deductions on your personal income tax return certainly vary based on your income and filing status. The most common deductions that allow taxpayers to itemize their deductions are mortgage interest, real estate taxes and charitable contributions.

What business expenses can I write off if I am a sole proprietor?

As a sole proprietor, business expenses can reduce both your regular income tax as well as self-employment tax. For this reason, you want to make sure you are keeping track of all your business related expenses. To qualify as a business expense, the expense must be “ordinary and necessary” for your business. The IRS has a publication dedicated to business expenses so the list can be extensive. The most important advice is to document, document, document! If you would like to further discuss what you can deduct, Larry L Bertsch, CPA & Associates is here to help. Just give us a call for an appointment with a tax accountant.

What are the deductions for my partnership?

Deductions for all businesses fall under one IRS definition- ordinary and necessary expenses to produce the income. Costs you incur to make money are deductible against the income earned.

What is the difference in taxes for the different entities I can set up?

Partnership, Corporation, LLC or Sole Proprietorship are all various forms of business entities. The tax implications for each can be confusing and unfortunately cannot be explained in just a few sentences. Some entities are considered “pass-through” and the income/loss is reported on the owner’s individual tax return. A C Corporation is responsible for its own taxes. It is crucial to understand all the various entities and the issues tax and otherwise associated with each form. Larry L Bertsch, CPA & Associates can go through each business form and discuss the tax implications of each.

Does my business pay the taxes?

When you have a business earning income, you are going to have to pay taxes. Where you pay the taxes depends on what type of entity you are. At the entity level, only C Corporations pay taxes by themselves. With other entities such as Sole Proprietors, S Corporations, and LLC/Partnerships, the taxes are paid at the individual level- which means you pay them personally on your 1040. A tax accountant can assist you in further breaking down the differences between each organizational structure for your business and find out what may work best for you.

I bought a new house what can I deduct?

The following are deductions related to the purchase of a new primary residence: mortgage interest, property taxes, points you paid on the purchase, premiums paid for Private Mortgage Insurance (ending 2013). It is important to mention some of these deductions may disappear based on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) so it is important to discuss with a tax advisor. Please call our office and speak with a tax accountant if you have questions related to the purchase of your new home.
